School Counseling
UHS Counseling Mission Statement
In alignment with the larger school's mission, counseling is committed to guiding students to new and useful insights about their relationships with themselves and others. We hope to support meaningful experiences, positive growth, and engagement with each other in the UHS Community and larger world. We strive to support the emotional well-being of all members of the UHS community and engage in various efforts which aim to destigmatize conversations, while also providing information around mental health, adolescent development, healthy recovery, and care.
Collaboration with Faculty & Staff at UHS
We regularly collaborate with mentors, faculty, coaches, and staff to facilitate a deeper understanding of how to support students in and outside of the classroom. We also work closely with our Dean of Student Life, Director of Health & Wellness, Dean of Teaching & Learning, and our Director of Learning Support to examine cultural trends regarding mental health, support students who have identified needs, and develop programs for professional development in the realm of mental and emotional health.
